Fish / coral tank update

Actually not much to update. Everything is doing fine. Coral frags are starting to grow and compete for space. It is quite clear to see which corals uses what strategy to gain some advantage. Pavona is making a huge space around it by stinging everything around it, the plating Montipora is growing fast, covering huge grounds and shield any coral below it from the light, but it is also "running" away from the stinging nematocysts of the neighbouring purple Acropora. The twin Hydropora has very strong nematocysts and having been keeping the Seriatopora in check, otherwise, the Seriatopora will take over the entire rock due to its fast brunching growth!

It is a race in the tank!

  1. To most people, it is a vaguely colorful tank without fish; to Sonny it is a battleground!
